Dear John and Doves,
I was watching some random prophetic videos
on youtube today, and ran across this video. In this, the Hebrew children
had wanted to hear God's voice to make sure what Moses was telling them was
of God and not Moses. In this scene God had the Hebrews cleanse themselves
for three days, when He met with them so they too could hear His voice.
Please stop here and watch the first few minutes of this
video, (where you hear God's voice) before I continue with my thinking:
(Turn up your speakers!)
Exd
19:19
And when the voice of the trumpet
sounded long, and waxed louder and louder, Moses spake, and God
answered him by a voice.
Deu
4:33 Did [ever] people hear the voice of God
speaking out of the midst of the fire, as thou hast heard, and
live?
34
Or hath God assayed to go [and] take
him a nation from the midst of [another] nation, by temptations, by signs,
and by wonders, and by war, and by a mighty hand, and by a stretched out
arm, and by great terrors, according to all that the LORD your God did
for you in Egypt before your eyes?
35
Unto thee it was shewed, that thou
mightest know that the LORD he [is] God; [there is] none else beside him.
36
Out of heaven he made thee
to hear his voice, that he might instruct thee: and upon earth
he shewed thee his great fire; and thou heardest his words out
of the midst of the fire.
I was awestruck at the sound of God's
voice, the shofar; the trumpet of God. Something inside of me came alive
and felt this was important, and somehow had to do with the 22 letters of
God's aleph-bet. If, as we are told God's voice is that of a trumpet,
and He spoke creation into being...Was this what God's voice sounded like
when He created the Heavens and the earth? If so, could music be a Heavenly
language? Could we connect the notes of His trumpet voice with the letters
of the Hebrew aleph-bet (?), and if so, would this reveal yet more mysteries
of our great God? Won't this trumpet voice be the voice of God that raises
the dead, and translates us in the twinkling of an eye?
I couldn't help but wonder if this wasn't a
special form of communication and fellowship between the Ancient of Days
and David, who sang, danced and played instruments before the Lord. In my
mind's eye, I could see the Lord and David harmonizing in the Spirit together,
and loving every minute of it. If we could find the key, could we discern
new meanings in the Psalms, or Song of Songs? I don't know. I
haven't read music since 5th grade, so I'm pretty much ignorant of it all
now, but I wanted to share these thoughts with the Doves, in hopes that besides
our multi-talented "math guys," there are perhaps some "music guys" that
heretofore we hadn't employed the services of. We are each given certain
gifts, but math and music aren't mine. I was an investigative reporter
type, so I did some research, and present it for your discernment. Perhaps
these emails will enlighten the senses of other doves and we could find more
clues that would unlock more of God's precious Word.
I can attest to the spiritual dimension of music.
I've heard it said that Satan was the Choir Director in Heaven before
He fell. Perhaps that's true. We see how Satan has used music to draw
generations of our youth away from God and even some down into the occult,
and making sin seem "cool." So, he obviously knows the powerful
connection of music on the soul of man. God meant music for good,
and to be used to worship Him. I think we can all attest to how our
spirits soar when we hear and sing worship music. I know it feels
like my spirit goes into orbit through worship music. (Insert
Paul Wilber plug here! LOL) Anyway, below are scriptures concerning
God's voice, and below that was my first attempt to research what I was
feeling, by looking up some basics about the construction of notes to make
music, taken from a book online about learning guitar. I saw many clues
there, although to a non-music person, it's otherwise rather boring.
The musically-inclined will already know all these basics, but perhaps can
see clues also in connecting notes, octaves, etc. with God's trumpet
voice.
Since we only live in a three dimentional
world, the music of the Angels ministering to God in His Heavenly Tabernacle
(where X-rays, UV rays, gamma rays, cosmic rays, etc can be seen and
experienced along with vast numbers of rays we don't even know of),
must be truly an awesome spectrum of infinite scale. (See this link
for a description of Cosmic Rays:
The awe and wonders of God's Majesty are innumerable.
Speaking of numbers, I found two other websites with vast amounts of
clues to this, which I will post as Part 2 and Part 3, since this has
gotten long. Anyway, I hope you'll look all this over, consider it spiritually,
and see what you think. This limited research seems to connect the Trumpet
of God, God's Word, the Hebrew aleph-bet, the harmonics of music, light, colors
and math, if you can believe it!
Oh, the splendor of our Heavenly Father.
His wonders never cease!

MUSIC THEORY
Notes are called by aleph-bet letters- ABCDEFG
A clef sign is used to designate what
names each line and space will receive.
The complete system of lines and spaces with a clef
sign is called a staff. Each line and space corresponds to a different tone.
Treble clef=E,G,B,D,G <F,A,C,E>
Bass clef=G,B,D,F,A <A,C,E,G>
There are 7 pitches which are
represented on a staff with the letter names A,B,C,D,E,F,G. These 7
pitches keep repeating themselves in different octaves. To represent
these notes in other octaves we need to use ledger line or other clefs. There
are a total of 12 pitches used in western music which can
be found in many different octaves. To show all 12 notes in the system,
"sharp" (#) and "flat" (b) symbols are used to represent the tones that occur
between the letter names of the notes. For example, between the note
C and D there exists a pitch which can be called either C sharp or D flat.
(C# or Db). The flat (b) lowers a pitch and a sharp (#) which raises the pitch.
If a note is sharped it is said to have been raised a half step; if it is
flatted it is said to have been lowered a half step. A half step is the smallest
distance possible in western music. If we show all 12 notes on the staff within
one octave we get what is called the chromatic scale. This scale contains
all possible notes in the western system of music. There is no sharp or flat
between E and F and B and C which is just one of those inconsistencies you
have to accept with this notational system. Both chromatic scales sound
the same on the guitar; the decision to use sharps or flats depends on the
musical situation. The D in the chromatic scale with flats has a symbol
in front of it. This symbol is called a natural sign. It is used to
cancel the flat that appears before the previous D. In written music,
measures are used to delineate time, and sharps and flats
carry through the whole measure until a new measure starts, unless a natural
symbol is used to cancel it.
If you play on only one string of the guitar and move
consecutively up each fret you will be playing a chromatic scale. If
you were to start of the A string 3rd fret and move up each fret until you
reach the 15th fret to complete the chromatic scale. Though the chromatic scale represents all 12 notes,
much of western music of the last few centuries has been based around only
7 tones. If we extract these 7 notes we end up with a major scale. If we look
at the distance in half steps between the notes of a major scale we see a
pattern; whole, whole, half, whole, whole, whole, half. All major scales are
based on these intervals.
The notes of a C major scale C,D,E,F,G,A,B are commonly
referred to as the diatonic notes of the key on C major. If we had the
key of D major the diatonic notes would be D,E,F#,G,A,B,C#. If we use the
major scale formula (1,1,1/2,1,1,1,1/2) we can figure out every major scale.
Each key has a different number of sharps or flats. If a piece of music
uses a particular key, it's key signature is placed at the beginning of the
piece of music. The following is a list of all the sharps and flats
found in various keys. C,F,Bb,Eb,Ab,Db,C#,Gb,F#,Cb,B,E,A,D,G.
The major scale is just one of 22 scales
or modes that are commonly used in contemporary music. It is recommended that
you work on each new scale presented in 3 ways. First, digest the information
presented about the structure of the scale, then move to the corresponding
section and write out the scale in all keys. Then use the progressions to
work on improvising. When you are ready, transpose these progressions to all
keys. By knowing the interval pattern you can play
any scale.

on the staff to which it is prefixed

a staff, in relation to which the other pitches of the staff can be determined.
